Paris is unique, incomparable – but one thing it is not is French. Paris is, to her gilded fingertips, Parisienne and anyone exploring her and hoping to find France will, alas, be disappointed. For the true France and true French art de vivre, you have to head south, through the rich fields and vineyards of the Rhône and Loire, and finally come to rest in Lyon.
I think Lyon, more than any other city in France, embodies that illusive French "art of living" – the joyful synthesis of all that makes life worthwhile: food, wine, culture, friends and family – and it's an art that the Lyonnais are very happy to share with even the most casual visitor.
Yet beyond France, Lyon's reputation is largely limited to its industry and gastronomy. The former fuels the city's enviable lifestyle and accounts for its dubious honour of being France's largest conurbation. But the truth is that the relaxed city centre – the heart of Lyonnais art de vivre – is a lovely walkable enclave.
The city's gastronomic heritage is the legacy of its mères, the mothers who provided vast and nourishing breakfasts for their menfolk before they set off for long days in the silk mills. Today, Lyon has a galaxy of Michelin stars and even among the bouchons, the small bistros serving outstanding value Lyonnaise cuisine, reputations are carefully nurtured.
